Unlock the Power of Custom Menu Links in Heads Up: Streamline Access To Important Resources for Your Team and Patients
In the fast-paced world of health management, efficiency isn’t just a perk—it’s a necessity. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Custom Menu Links – a resourceful feature in the Heads Up platform that empowers health professionals to create a seamless and personalized navigation experience for both their teams and patients.
Imagine having all the essential tools, resources, and applications you use in your practice accessible with just a click, right from the Heads Up interface. Whether you’re streamlining internal operations or enhancing patient engagement, Custom Links makes it easier than ever to stay organized and efficient.
What Are Custom Menu Links?
Custom Links allow you to integrate external URLs and internal platform pages directly into your Heads Up account. These links can be categorized, grouped, and even nested to create an intuitive, organized structure that fits your workflow. Best of all, you can customize the links available for different roles, ensuring that both practitioners and patients have access to exactly what they need—and nothing they don’t.
Key Features of Custom Menu Links
1. Add and Categorize Links
Easily include links to external resources like:
- Webinars
- Social media pages
- Practice management tools
- Insurance forms
- Educational resources for patients
- and anything else you want!
These links are displayed in an organized, visually appealing layout that’s easy to navigate.
2. Customize Client and Practitioner Views
Tailor the user experience based on role:
- Practitioners can access internal tools such as EHR systems, lab integration portals, or team resources.
- Patients can be directed to external tools for symptom tracking, educational articles, or appointment scheduling.
3. Create Groups and Nested Structures
Organize links into intuitive categories. For instance:
- A “Resources” group might include subcategories for diet plans, fitness programs, treatment guidelines, and lifestyle guides.
- A “Tools” group could house links to your e-commerce website, affiliate links to buy health technologies like devices, and links to purchase advanced labs.
- A “Admin” group might include a link to billing, scheduling, task management and other administrative resource links.
4. Link Internal Pages
Need to direct users to specific activities or pages within Heads Up? Use Custom Links to provide one-click access to platform features like:

- Photo Journals
- Health metric dashboards
